It works for now, but the reason most wires have a rubber-like insulator around them is that it takes very little to Crack or abrade a thin coating such as this and turn it into a fire hazard.

I’m surprised a product with such a small safety margin is allowed for sale.

Maybe it’s becuase i grew up on python and bash still seems somewhat alien to me, but any time I’m crafting something with more than three or so nested functions, I use python as a wrapper for bash. Python initiates a bash script, parses the retval, inititates the next bash script from that data, etc.

Don’t just put it on your license either. In many places that isn’t legally binding. Have a conversation with your partner/children/parents who are going to have legal authority over your body while brain dead and tell them you want to be a donor.

Can you share the torrents in question? I’d like to take a stab at merging them from hex dumps as explained in my other comment. Maybe develop a tool to automate it for other broken torrents.

Haha, my bad

I believe in that case you may be able to merge the two files by dumping a hex of each, then running a diff on the two hexes and substituting valid hexes into any zero blocks.

I’m actually kind of curious about writing a script to handle this now that I’m presented with it. Can you link the two torrents for me so I can take a crack?

It still is useful for that, and until we have a better way to buy drugs online, i don’t see it going away.

This. If I’m gonna gave to get a pirate version in order for it to work, I’m donating to the crackers that fixed it, not the publishers that deliberately broke it.
